rHE COTTON WILL CASE.

Before Judge Andrews in the civil side of the Su- perior court yesterday ,ex-Judge William B; Stod- tain deeds made by Mrs. Fred Cotton William Hale the deceased liveryman, married the present Mrs. Cotton when he was about to die and left her considerable property. After his death she went up to Manchester, where she met and fell in love with young fellow named Fred Cotton. Mrs. Hale had good many ups and downs but she was still young enough to have predilection for good looking young man. She married Cotton and died February B. 1886, leaving the bulk of her property to her sisters ignoring to certain extent her child by her last marriage. Cotton contested the will, but Judge Torrance decided against him.
 Yesterday morning Attorneys Stoddard and B. Wright brought petition to set aside these deeds that were made while Mrs. Cotton was sick, as they claim, under undue circumstances Townsend and Watrous appear for the defense.
 If the deeds set aside Cotton will take the property.

President Jackson and the Baby.

EIcSlucnt JaCkSon ana tne baDy. F. G. Carpenter. in the October Cosmopolitan.
 Judge A. R. Boteler, now of the at- torney generals office at Washington, was a boy at Princeton college when President Jackson made his famous tour through the eastern states in 1883. It was taken shortly after his famous nullification decree, and the north went wild in their adulation of Old Hickory. Baltimore and Phila- delphia had received Jackson in grand style, and he was to pass through Princeton on his way to New York Judge Botelcr's eyes now brighten as he tells how excited the college boys were over Jackson's expected coming, and they twinklcd as he told me how he, with several of his mates, ran away from Princeton the night be- fore, and went to meet the president at Trenton that they might accompany him 10 Princeton. During the jour- ney, the following incident occurred which l give in Judge Boteler's own words:
 "The people came in crowds from the surrounding country to see the presidential party pass by, and Gen. eral Jackson was uniformly kind 10 all. He rode in splendid four horse coach, which was driven by Old Resides, the noted stage owner, and General Eaton, the secretary of war, sat beside Jackson in the coach. About midway in the journey a poor woman was seen out in the plowed fields alongside of the road, hurrying toward the carriage. She had almost reached the road, when the carriages came up. The coachmen were about to whip up their horses, when Jack son, seeing the woman, called out in stentorian tones, 'Haltp
 "As the carriage stopped, he said to Eaton; Don't you sec that lady she wishes to meet us.'
 "At this moment the poor bare headed woman, with a little baby under her arm, had reached the fence. As she crawled through and stood Joking anxiously from one face of the party to the other, General Jackson raised his tall white hat and courte- ously said, Madam, can we do any thing for you?'
 "ltather abashed, the poor woman replied, q want to see the president
 "At this Jackson again raised his hat and said, I am he, and am glad to know you. And is that fine boy your baby? Let me have him.
 "The woman handed the dirty faced infant to Old Hickory. Jackson took it, and held it up before him.
 "'Ah! There is fine specimen of American childhood. I think, madam, your boy will make :. fine man some day
 "Then, with quick gesture, he put the dirty face of the infant close to the face of Secretary Eaton, saying quickly and soberly, Eaton, kiss him?'
 "General Eaton pretended to do so with wry face, amid the laughter of the crowd, and Jackson then handed the baby back to the happy mother"
 Judge Boteler once told this story to President Hayes, and he profited by it. There is no reason why Secre- taries Whitney, Fairchild, and Endi- colt should not render the same as- to President Cleveland.
